A HINT TO WIVES.
{. II. :.

Just after dinner is the hour
For wives to ask favor;
Since Benedict is then content,
To give an unrestrained consent,
When subtle spice and continent
Give all the viands flavor.
So smiling, sit upon his knee
And ask the troubling question.
Now if it dress or bonnet be,
No matter, ask him and you'll see
Him acquiesce, provided he
Has unimpaired digestion.
Of course with smile and Establishment,
You should be pleasant looking,
But that which wins a yielding yes,
Is when the dinners success;
So take its sweet suggestiveness,
And learn the art of cooking.

Of character as an exponent of conduct.
There is comfort in this thought to
one whose character is unfairly judged,
rs indicated by characteristics which he
is constantly and consciously striving
against. There is a warning in this
thought to those who would Judge an

speech or some action which may, after

Interesting Lightning Flashes.

Lightning flashes have sometimes
been observed which. starting from one
point. have ended in several. Some re-
markable forms of flash have been late
ly described by Herr Leyst. of Pawlowsk
Observatory. In one case flash went
a certain distance in Il nOrtheastly ,lirec-
ton. then divided. the two branches
forming an angle Of about seventy-five
degrees. When these had reached
about thirty-6ve degrees from each
other. they turned and united again To
one liae. The path of the Lightning thus
formed a quadrilateral figure. 1t was
further observed that the lightning
flashed back in the same path. as if there
was an oscillating discharge. III another
interesting flash. the path was not a
crooked line. but wavy band. which
was lit up four times in succession with
equal brilliancy. The. time be.ween
the second and third and the third and
fourth flashes seemed longer than that
between the first and second. The
thunder which followed lasted about
eighty secOnds.-N. z. Post.

RELIGIOUS READING.
At CLOSE OF DAY.

The night is come: like to the day
Depart not Thou. great God, away;
Let not my sins. black as the night,
Eclipse the luster Of Thy light.
Keep still in my horizon; for to me
The sun makes not the day. but Thee.
Thou whose nature can not sleep,
On my temples sentry keep;
Guard me 'gainst those watchful foes
Whose eyes are open while mine close.
Let no dreams my head infest,
But such as Jacobs temples biest;
While do rest. my soul advance;
Make my sleep q holy trance,
That may, my rest being wrought,
Awake into some holy thought;
And with active vigor run
My course. as doth the nimble sun.
Sleep is death: oh, make me try,
By sleeping. what it is TO die;
And as gently lay my head
On my grave, as now my bed
However l rest. great God. let mo
Awake again. at least with Thee;
And thus assured, behold, lie
Securely, or TO wake, or die.
These are my drowsy days: in vain
do not wake to sleep again;
Oh. come, that hour, when 1 shall never
Sleep again, but wake forever!

Some Adventures During the Building
of the Washington MOnuRent.

The elevator man of the Washington
monument recently told the following
stories: Zone day when | was coming

landing. l heard the cry from above,
and knew that something was coming
| directed my passengers to crowd into
the middle, where the elevator was
most protected from above, and when
the barrel struck the top nobody said a
word. There were several ladies
aboard. but they didn't seem a bit
frightened. At another time, when the
elevator was at the top and the men
were unloading stone, croWbar was
twisted from the hands of the man who
was using it and dropped down the
well. We gave the signal and when the
bar reached bottom there was nobody
there to catch it, 1t went down like a
shot, and a plummet could not have
swung straighter. 1t went clear through
the platform at the base, and made
hole about six inches deep in the asphalt
at the foundation.
'Once an iron sleeve weighing seventy
or eighty pounds fell while the ele ator
was at the top. The cry of warming
cleared out those at the bottom of the
well, and it struck on a board upon
which some passengers had been stand
ing only few moments before. Only
two men were hurt during the entire
time that the monument was being built.
In going down step-lad Ter in the dark
at the landing, near the top, one of the
workmen missed his footing and fell tc
the landing, only few feet, breaking
his arm. It was curious accident. fol
the man was perfectly familiar with al
the surroundings. At another time the
hand railing at one of the landings gave
away with a man who was standing
upon it fixing the electric lights. Fortu-
nately he fell the right way, and landed
on the platform, the result being only q
sprain. Had he gone down the well
